Freewheeler Bicycle Center

Great bike store! Bought my viper red Trek Domane here and the staff was excellent at figuring out that it would fit my price and quality expectations. The customer service here is excellent as well! I Was able to get a rebate on my bike after trek slashed the price by 20% one week after I bought it. GO HERE!

Had the absolute best experience here. I returned today after stopping by 2 weeks ago to buy my first road bike. I came back after visiting several bike shops in Sacramento. Kevin helped me on both occasions and was THE reason I came back to buy my bike and accessories. He was genuine, helpful and not pushy. My experience here also lacked the pretentious and often «snobby» attitude I found at other bike shops… especially being new to cycling. I felt at ease and welcome. I highly recommend coming here for your cycling and service needs.

I’ve had about 8 repairs or tuneups done at this shop.
The mechanics now what they are doing and always show great help in guidance on what to buy for specific types of races.
If you’re looking for an outstanding mechanical service and ease of mind for your races, go to Freewheeler, you will be happy you invested your money in this shop!!!

I had an excellent experience here, and will return whenever I need to!
From browsing to buying, Sheri (who was there every time I went) is approachable, knowledgeable, and helpful. She knows what she’s talking about and she explains things in a way that’s easy to understand.
This bike shop is, however, pretty serious! It’s the only authorized Trek dealer around, so if you want to buy a Trek or need yours fixed, you can rest assured that the bike will be in good hands! This shop has some Pure Fixes, Giants, etc, but most noticeable are the Trek bikes.
In addition to bicycles, they sell handlebars, seats, lights, locks, riding gear, water bottle holders, and more. Great selections!
I got my bike after a couple of helpful conversations with Sheri, who didn’t try to push any sales on me! The bike was a great price, too! They had to order it online because they don’t carry that model in-​store, but shipping was fast — Kevin called me 2 days after I placed my order! When I went to pick up the bike, Sheri installed a kickstand and adjusted the seat for me. The bike works perfectly!
I love this place!

Thank you, FreeWheeler.
Thank you for overinflating my tires for free, then telling me tubes aren’t free demanding to charge me for repairs. Repairs I didn’t even require prior to showing up at the shop.
Definitely not coming back.

These guys did a great job on our bike. Very pleased with the speed and quality of the work.

As a UCD student, my bike is a very important part of my day-​to-​day life, so as you can imagine, I was distraught when my dérailleur stopped shifting correctly and my chain fell off every 10 seconds. Like most other students, I went to the Bike Barn (student run, UCD funded bike shop on campus) to find out what was going on, but in my quick 2 minute consultation, they couldn’t really pinpoint a problem. Their only solution was a basic tuneup which would take TWO WEEKS because they were so backed up (not their fault, the Bike Barn is popular).
So, I looked on Unilocal for another bike shop and stumbled on Freewheeler. As soon as I walked in, they were able to help me out and figure out what was wrong with the bike. Not only that, but they were able to fix the problem AND do some basic tuning I had neglected to do in less than 24 hours! And for cheaper than the bike barn too!
Overall: hassle-​free, friendly staff, and quick + affordable service.

I came in the store today to look for a particular bike I saw online, I am new to the whole biking commute and I wanted a reliable bike when I go to school, so C (K)athy? helped me. You can tell they really care about customers; they come to you right away and ask the right questions. I was able to test the bike around the block, use Trek financing, and able to get the basket I wanted on my bike. Kevin was really great too, he helped finish the transaction and it went smoothly. He taught me how to properly lock my bike too. They are all very friendly! Actually, I didn’t have the right car to take my new bike back home, so they were able to accommodate my needs and pick it up sometime later. I will be coming here more often, I recommend this place because of the awesome service I received!

There are a lot of good bike stores in Davis, but Freewheeler is by far the best in terms of service and selection. We have bought our last three bikes there (after much shopping around). It’s a small store, but it has an excellent selection of good quality reasonably priced bikes and the sales staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. We also take out bikes there for service and have been very happy. We just bought a new bike this weekend and when I had a bike rack problem that threw the wheels out of true, they fixed them immediately for no charge. This is the kind of store you come back to every time!

I brought my bike in today to have the broken brake and loose pedal fixed. I’m really impressed with the customer service every time I come here. The staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. Did i mention they’re service times are impressively fast? I walked in, told him my problem and by the time i had walked over to the bike locks and picked one out it was already finished! It took him maybe 5 minutes to completely replace the pedal and fix my brake! This is the only place in Davis that i will bring my bike to!

How do I start a review about this family-​owned business that tries SO hard to be as professional, competent, and just plain NICE folks?! The owner brothers (Jeff and Kevin) have their kids (now fully grown) working there for years, and somehow, they’re all so caring with even some of us «difficult» Davisites (yeah,. .. we can really be picky and hard-​to-​please sometime…). I was there about 4 months ago, and watched a really nasty customer come in, and was amazed as these guys did some caring magic, and somehow figured out exactly what this person wanted.
They really CARE, and are really great with their repairs. Always seem to get things right … the FIRST time!
I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

TIP TO STUDENTS — I appreciate the Bike Barn being a student run thing, but if you want reliable, efficient, and a frustration free experience, just go to a real bike store.
Came here with my bike because the rear tire needed repairing. Helpful, friendly and efficient staff made it a hassle free experience. The guy gave me three different replacement tires at different price points to choose from which I appreciated as a college student.
Was able to pick up my bike the next day. I didn’t have a chance to compare prices with the other bike stores in Davis, but everything seemed reasonable.

I started with a bike my friend bought for me at a yard sale for $ 15. Had it for ten years and never really rode it.
Commuting from the Davis Amtrak to my office is 8 minutes. Times 2, I ride 20 minutes max roundtrip. Davis is the bike town. While I’m not in a triathlon, but I’m loving the opportunity to «Save the Air,» I am riding.
So…
I don’t have any «check-​ins» since I’m bringing my bike in the store all the time and hands are holding my bike. Needed a new saddle for my fat a*s and a bolt to replace the quick release so to keep the bike thieves away. Then, I bought a pannier online, only to find it doesn’t fit rack. New rack. Got it installed there.
Now I’m into this bike so much $$$ I could have bought a new one. Yet the staff and perhaps owners, have been so nice and helpful. My whip has now become a religion. I’m with it forever. If I did want a new bike, I’d buy it from Freewheeler.
Thank you Freewheeler m for your helpfulness. And I’ve lost ten pounds riding!

Amazing and fast service! I’ve brought it in with simple fixes and they’ll do it in store and send me on my way. I highly recommend coming here

I went there today and got a u lock and kick stand. They were incredibly helpful! Installing the u lock mount onto my bike for me! They even gave my friend a free mount that worked with her old u lock after searching for the matching one. She also installed it for her. NO CHARGE. She said it was rare she could give one out like that, so don’t go expecting free things, but this has been the best bike service I have been to. Highly recommend. Good people and good quality.

These folks are very knowledgeable, helpful, honest and kind. My wife and i bought a pair of bikes here a few years ago and i’ve been in for flat repair and various upgrades. Like a good car mechanic they are willing to talk you through the important stuff.
Also — this appears to be an actual family business, which i think is important to support. There is another bike shop down the street for if you want to go a little faster, and there’s another one around the corner if you want the biggest pink pannier, but for multi taskers like me who want to commute around efficiently: this is my favorite bike shop in town.

Always helpful, never pushy, staff is available to help. I’ve bought bikes, parts, accessories over several years. I’ve brought in my tandem for service, always reasonably priced and on time. Once they even refused to accept payment for a tune up. This is my go-​to place for bike stuff.

I got a standard tune-​up for my Trek bike for about $ 55. Friendly staff, no attempt to up-​sell to a more expensive tune-​up after the initial assessment, finished on time.

Freewheeler s is a small-​scale, family operated business that sets the benchmark for all other bike shops in Davis and vicinity. I bough my road bike here and had it serviced several times since. Every time I had a great experience with minimal wait and issues addressed immediately.
All the staff in the shop are very helpful and courteous. No matter if you are buying a bicycle, looking for upgrades or equipment, or just need your bike serviced you will not be dissapointed with taking your bike to these guys. For me, I do not go anywhere else.

Kerby fixes all my bike problems and lets me know about other things that COULD become a problem to watch out for, but never tries to upsell me.
He pays a lot of attention to detail and is easy to speak with.
They have some of the best prices around after calling multiple places.
I ONLY CHOSE TO GO WHEN HE’S WORKING.
Thanks Kerby!
